According to the latest transfer gossip, Simba SC coach Fadlu Davids has turned an offer from Orlando Pirates down.
“Yes, it’s true that Orlando Pirates wanted Davids back. It was not only Pirates, Raja (Casablanca) also wanted him, but he wanted to remain with Simba,” an insider told Citizen.
“He says he still has some unfinished business with Simba. He has done well at Simba and the fans love him so he wants to stay at the club.”
Davids is making a name for himself out in Tanzania. The former Orlando Pirates assistant coach finds himself on the cusp of continental glory after Simba SC qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup final. Simba are due to face Morocco’s RSB Berkane in the final.
